Object D’Art
Together they mingle in harmony
the arts, bursting from souls
no longer suppressed or withheld.
Paintings of peace in flowing hues,
some in colours of grief.
Same with legends from Wordsmiths,
at times withheld too long;
Now telling their drams and truths.
The sculptor who this moment created a vase
so smooth, glazed in natures hues.
To tell about the many creative forms
would keep us here too long,
First, lest we forget. Always listen,
Listen to your heart.
Without love and passion
all art is just delightful objects d’art.

A beautiful poem and yes if we don’t create anything with love and beauty then it will be just an object de’art. Awesome and the picture was perfect, so precise, Miriam.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Miriam, a beautiful poetic rallying call for all the arts to come from within us:
‘the arts, bursting from souls
no longer suppressed or withheld.’
Just the way it should … a freeing of the spirit and of our creative selves. Love your poem and also the photo of the vase. It’s very striking and in form and colours.

Yes! I withheld my art for many years, only letting little bits seep out on rare occasions. Now, I’m painting again, and it feels like coming home.

How wonderful JoAnna, now you won’t stop again, will you. I like the way
you say ; it feels like coming home.
For many of us this happens whichever artform we choose. We never thought we could.

What lovely insight, Miriam. I agree with this, and consider art, music, words just varied ways of communicating, none better than the other but some reaching people the others wouldn’t. Delightful poem!

Thank you Andrea for your clear observation. I do agree, we all have more
time as we keep ourselves isolated and that gives time for reflections and also for new ideas to be born.

A beautiful poem, Miriam. I have friends who create beautiful pieces of pottery, artwork. They prompted me to investigate and write a story questioning whether artwork contains energy, after our New Zealand trip last year.
Reading through the comments, I am drawn to your response “…that is when what we write comes alive.” “….bursting from souls.” You remind me how art is infused with the energy and “passion” of the artist and of the times.
Wow! Thank you for sharing.❤️

Erica, your wonderful comment has created warmth in my heart and a smile on my face. You will write a wonderful essay about your trip as I feel you
are very in tune with the whole.
It make me so glad that you noticed my strong feeling about what makes art – Art. Infused with passion and energy. Without, it is just pretty and decorative
objects or books or poems….
❤️.
